Dangerous Games

Discover the gripping tales of espionage and conflict in Dangerous Games by James E. Wise, published by Naval Institute Press in 2010. This compelling hardback edition spans 256 pages and delves into the intense and often perilous atmosphere of the Cold War era, from 1945 to 1991.

While the Cold War may have been termed "cold" due to the absence of direct nuclear conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, it was anything but peaceful. Wise recounts a series of dramatic events, including wars, covert operations, the downing of reconnaissance aircraft, and the harrowing experiences of captured military personnel. Readers will be captivated by the high-stakes espionage, daring defections, and the fierce competition of the space race that ultimately led to a historic moon landing.

Join James E. Wise as he brings to life the anecdotes and biographies that shaped this tumultuous period in history.
